Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003332

A mechanical force exerted on an object by the air or other gas through which it moves. This force results from the pressure and shear stress distributions over the object's surface. The two primary components are lift, acting perpendicular to the flow, and drag, acting parallel to the flow.
